How Clinical Laboratories and Pathology Groups Can Succeed in Pharmacogenomics: What the Experts are Saying

Increasing understanding of the genetic basis of an individual’s response to drugs, including how and how quickly a drug is metabolized (pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics), has opened the door to an increasingly personalized approach to drug prescription. By identifying drugs most likely to benefit a patient, assessing the likely dose response, potentially avoiding adverse reactions, and reducing unnecessary use of drugs, pharmacogenomics testing (PgX) is helping to optimize treatment and reduce costs associated with complications or inappropriate utilization.

As research demonstrating the clinical utility and associated health economics benefits of PgX grows—along with the increasing trends toward value-based healthcare—PgX is on the path to becoming the standard of care. This demand for PgX presents a tremendous opportunity for clinical laboratories, many of which have already over the last few years successfully launched PgX services, and enjoyed robust growth.

The Dark Report is pleased to offer a FREE White Paper containing indispensable insights and key observations gleaned from an expert panel of lab directors and consultants at leading laboratories, in order to provide clinical lab managers the latest information on industry trends, best practices and guidance for labs looking to tap into the latest, most relevant, and potentially successful PgX opportunities.

This FREE White Paper addresses:

Why the long-term outlook for PgX is still favorable, even given recent setbacks
